Lily Evans woke up, deeply annoyed that anything that would be
disturbing her sleep the night before she was to wake up early, and bake a cake, decorate the house, and wrap the presents for her mothers birthday party. ((ClinkClink))
Groaning, she looked out the window.
And let out a yelp loud enough to make her wonder whether or not she woke anyone up..
She slowly got up, and looked out the window, hesitating, then bringing her eyes level to the owl.
The owl was a deep brown, with eyes that stared right back at her and for a moment, Lily thought he may just stare into them forever.

Lily jumped back with yet another loud yelp. She then noticed---the owl had an envelope attached to its claw. Interesting. Lily then decided she wanted to know what was in the envelope. Opening the window carefully, she let the owl fly into her room, praying it would keep quiet.
Lily felt a thrill of excitement as she took the letter off the owl and saw it was addressed right to her!
Slowly, Lily opened her letter…changing the course of her life as she could never had imagined.
---------------------------------------------------------
Who would have thought?
Thoughts raced through Lily Evans' head as she took learned more of this new world. She was in awe, and she hadnt even reached the school yet! Lily was in a compartment in the Hogwarts Express. The Hogwarts Express was, in itself a wonder, and Lily barely realized, being only eleven, that this was just a peek into the magical world she was about to join, and live in for the rest of her life.
She was amazed, simply amazed. She certainly knew that when the letter had said "You are accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" it meant magic, if it was really true. But, seeing it. Amazing.
Four or five voices woke Lily from her thoughts and she heard one say,
"Well, this is much more exciting than my father said! He says I wont have seen anything yet until I see Hogwarts for the first time. Imagine!" and another state that he was absolutly starving which brought up and argument amoung them over who was the hungriest.
All the voices stopped as they opened the door to the compartment they had planned on sitting in to find Lily. Lily looked up to the first boy, with black hair. And smiled. She had to make friends sometime.
"Hello, I am Lily Evans, what is your names?" Lily felt slightly lame saying that. Really. What's your name? Ugh. She hoped they would overlook that.
The boy in front sat down right next to her. " I'm James Potter, this is Remus Lupin," he said pointing at a young buy who looked pretty darned nervous. "Sirius Black" This boy looked absolutely thrilled about something. Whatever. "And Peter Pettigrew" This boy was just as nervous looking as Remus.
"So how are you? I do hope you guys have a clue about magic, because I'm…what do you call it? Not born a witch." Lily, for the second time in the last five minutes felt really lame.
The boy sitting next to her, James, was staring at her soft red hair. "Muggleborn." He said, looking up at her with that feeling that you feel when you have been staring at something intriguing and beautiful. He then realized how spaced-off his voice had sounded and cleared his throat.
Okay, awkward silence…
"Sooo," Lily's attempt at conversations always have sucked. Who cared though? Plus, this boy was staring at her…it was kinda getting weird….
"You want to help us? We were planning a little something here…to give the Slytherins a piece of our mind. A prank. Whatcha think?"
Lily looked at the boy. James? Prank. Trouble. Bad idea. "Oh. No. No no no no. I don't need to be getting into trouble my first week of school thank you…"
James shrugged. "Well have fun watching us then. I will make sure we don't include you in any of our pranks then." Oh, Oh. Lily did not like this boy. Not at all.
"Well that's great, because I want no part of them." She answered, her temper getting the best of her.
He looked at her. Grinned. Winked! Said "Bye bye." And left with his friends…..
Leaving Lily Evans to herself, wondering, yet again, how her life would turn out.
